What a weekend

I had a quilt I wanted to make so I dropped everything else and worked on it Friday and part of Saturday. Wanda had sent me these stripes
Here are the blocks I have made so far and the strips for more blocks. I was hard to stop working on this!
I have to leave at 3:00 on Saturday to head over to my brother's house. The band had a show in South Euclid. The load in and out was a pain. We had to drag everything up and over a mulched area with curbs on both sides and it was on a slope. Here is the merch booth. The stage lighting was so bad I couldn't even take a picture.
I got to bed at 11:45 P.M. and was up at 7:15 A.M. I needed to make a few tote bags before we headed to the next gig. There was only one bag left.  Yes, we had a gig on Sunday in Cleveland. Michael's girlfriend gave me a three yard piece of fabric that I was able to cut quickly into 5 bags. It was plenty to get us thru the gig on Sunday.
The venue was right on the Cuyahoga River in an area call The Flats. There were people kayaking
Here is the water taxi
There were all kinds of boats and bridges with a wonderful cool breeze
We got there kind of early - we had left my brother's house at 11:20, and two bands played before us. They were both really good.
We set up a merch table next to the stage and thank goodness I got to sit under the beer tent. Even though there was a wonderful breeze, that sun was hot.
The band put on a great show and the crowd loved it. As they were playing this ship went by. The one of the guys on the ship was either recording or taking a picture as the band played and we all were waving at them and they waved back. It was a huge ship!  The pictures just don't give the sense of how big this ship was!
We got back to my brother's around 5:00. I made three stops on my way home to pick up groceries so by the time I got home it was 6:30! I put all the cold stuff away, got something to eat and was in bed by 7:45. I was tired as it had been a long couple of days! I did get a second application of conditioner on the leather jacket. It will be dry by the time I get home so I will have to stop everything else and try to get some work done on it.
I have three appointments after work this week - one headlight needs replaced on the car, my kinesiologist/chiropractor/nutritionist appointment, and the hair needs some serious TLC!  It's going to be a busy week.  Oh, and I need to mow too.  LOL!!
